Open House

The poems in this striking new collection take a number of forms, drifting between nature and philosophy, evoking a meditative quality that is both contemplative and full of grace. Spare and honed, David Brooks’s poems range in scale, from investigations into microscopic detail observing the smallest creatures and textures underfoot as well as the telescopic, revealing the smallness of human endeavor from a thoughtful distance. This volume is at once powerful, resonant, and unreserved.
